Zahariel, born Zahariel El'Zurias was a Dark Angels Space Marine during the Great Crusade.

扎哈瑞爾，原名扎哈瑞爾 艾爾 祖瑞亞斯，是大遠征時期的一名黑暗天使星際戰(zhàn)士。

History歷史

A native of Caliban in the period preceding the arrival of the Emperor, Zahariel left his home at the age of seven to attempt to join The Order, one of the bands of knights that acted to protect the population from the predations of the great Beasts indigenous to the world. The Order was a particularly prestigious knightly organisation, being led by two warriors often claimed to be the greatest of the age; Luther and Lion El'Jonson. Accompanied by his cousin, Nemiel, Zahariel succeeded in becoming a supplicant to the Order, and began an intensive training programme that would occupy almost every moment of his waking life for the next two years. After being judged suitable by his Master, Remiel and by an initiation panel consisting of Lion El'Jonson, Luther and the Lord Cypher, Zahariel became a full member of the Order.

在帝皇駕臨之前，作為一名卡利班土著，扎哈瑞爾在七歲時離開家試圖加入秩序騎士團——保護卡利班人民免受當(dāng)?shù)鼐薮笠矮F捕食的騎士團體之一，秩序騎士團是一個特別有聲望的騎士組織，由兩位通常被認為是當(dāng)時最偉大的戰(zhàn)士：盧瑟和萊昂 艾爾 莊森進行領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。在表親奈米爾的陪伴下，扎哈瑞爾成功成為秩序騎士團候補，并且開始了一項強化訓(xùn)練項目，在之后的兩年中，這些強化訓(xùn)練幾乎占據(jù)了他清醒著的每個時刻。在被他的導(dǎo)師雷米爾以及萊昂，盧瑟和塞弗領(lǐng)主三人組成的入團評議會判定為合格之后（機仆：卡利班秩序騎士學(xué)院研究生入學(xué)面試…），扎哈瑞爾成為了騎士團正式成員。

Only a year later, Zahariel took on a Beast Quest, the successful completion of which would guarantee him promotion of a full ranking Knight of the Order. This quest was one of vengeance, for Zahariel's mentor in the Order, Brother Amadis, had been slain by a Great Beast referred to as 'the Beast of Endriago'. Zahariel set out with this Beast as his target. During the Quest, he encountered apparent humanoid entities in the wilds, who warned him of pursuing his goal, but he pressed on and found the Beast, a great Calibanite Lion. While fighting for his life against the Lion, Zaharial's latent psychic powers manifested, altering his time perception to the point he could see through the animal's defenses and find an opening, finally killing it using a secondary ability which allowed him to 'phase' his arm and pistol inside its chest. The Order recognized his amazing feat and promoted him to the status of knighthood. An additional result was that Zahariel gained a measure of respect and even friendship from Lion El'Jonson. The leader of the Order had a special sword crafted for Zahariel, made from a razor-sharp fang culled from the Beast. This 'lion-sword' would prove to be more potent in battle than most other blades.

僅僅一年之后，扎哈瑞爾就參加了一場巨獸尋獵，尋獵的成功完成為扎哈瑞爾成為首席騎士提供了保證。這是一次復(fù)仇之旅，原因是扎哈瑞爾在騎士團中的導(dǎo)師阿瑪?shù)纤剐值軕K遭被稱為“恩德里亞戈野獸”的巨獸殺害，扎哈瑞爾將這只野獸定為自己的目標。在搜尋過程中，他在野外遇到了明顯的人形實體，他們警告扎哈瑞爾：沿著他的目標前進極其危險，但扎哈瑞爾依舊前進并且找到了巨獸——某只巨大的卡利班獅。當(dāng)與巨獅以命相搏時，扎哈瑞爾潛在的靈能力量顯示了出來，這改變他對時間的感知，他能看穿野獸的防御并找到了一個突破口，最終倚靠某種輔助能力——允許他把自己的胳膊和手槍“相位同步”到野獸的胸膛中——殺死了野獸。騎士團承認了他的驚人壯舉并提升了他的騎士身份。額外的成果則是扎哈瑞爾得到了廣泛的尊敬，甚至還有萊昂 艾爾 莊森的友誼。這位騎士團領(lǐng)袖為扎哈瑞爾打造了一把特殊長劍，這把劍是用從野獸身上挖出的鋒利的牙齒制作的。這把“雄獅劍”將在戰(zhàn)斗中證明自己比多數(shù)其他武器都要更強大。

Soon after his ascension to knighthood, the order declared war on the Knights of Lupus, a separate knightly order that had protested against Lion El'Jonson's genocidal campaign against the Beasts of Caliban. Zahariel fought in the short war as a member of a swordline, and came out of the campaign both blooded as a warrior and recognised as a rising star in the Order.

在他的騎士身份得到提升之后不久，秩序騎士團與天狼星騎士團宣戰(zhàn)了，后者是另一個獨立騎士團，他們反對萊恩針對卡利班巨獸的種族滅絕戰(zhàn)爭。作為騎士團劍士的一員，扎哈瑞爾參與了這場短暫的戰(zhàn)爭，他在戰(zhàn)斗中脫穎而出，即是作為浴血奮戰(zhàn)的戰(zhàn)士，也是作為騎士團后起之秀。

The Descent of Angels天使降臨

When the Adeptus Astartes First Legion arrived on Caliban, Zahariel's destiny changed. Six months after his ascension to Knight of the Order, Zahariel once again faced the challenge of becoming something greater and achieving a more heroic purpose. Recognised now as the Primarch of the newly christened 'Dark Angels' Space Marines, Lion El'Jonson ordered that all members of the Order undergo selection tests to decide which of them could become Astartes. Zahariel and Nemiel both partook in these trials, and it was during one of the endurance tests that Zahariel's psychic powers again manifested, granting him a third power, that of renewed energy and stamina. This brought him to the attention of Brother-Librarian Israfael, who, after interrogating Zahariel, deduced that the young knight possessed a rare psychic ability known as Terrorsight. This ability gave Zahariel several powers: his perception of time could slow, allowing him to move faster than others could detect. He could 'phase' his body through the warp itself, becoming intangible. He possessed an 'x-ray' vision ability that could be used when otherwise completely blinded. Lastly, he could boost his own reserves of stamina and energy. (As far as is presently known, Zahariel has received no explicit training in the use of these powers, and their potentially extreme benefits have not been unlocked. All known uses of them have been instinctual and unfocused.)

當(dāng)阿斯塔特第一軍團降臨卡利班時，扎哈瑞爾的命運改變了。在被提拔為秩序騎士六個月之后，扎哈瑞爾再次面對成為某種更為強大的戰(zhàn)士和實現(xiàn)更為英勇的目標的挑戰(zhàn)?，F(xiàn)在，萊昂被確認為剛剛接受過施洗禮的“黑暗天使”星際戰(zhàn)士們的原體，他命令騎士團所有成員接受選拔測試來決定哪些人可以成為阿斯塔特。扎哈瑞爾和奈米爾都參與了這些測試，正是在一項忍耐力測試中，扎哈瑞爾的靈能力量再次顯示出來，給予了他第三種力量，那就是恢復(fù)精力和耐力。這讓他被帶到了兄弟智庫伊斯拉菲爾面前，后者在詢問過扎哈瑞爾之后，推論出這位年輕的騎士擁有被稱為恐懼視野的罕見靈能力量，這項能力給了扎哈瑞爾多種靈能力量：他對時間的感知會變慢，這允許他的移動得比別人察覺得更快。他可以把身體“相位平移”進入亞空間，化為無形。最后，他可以增強自己的耐力和精力儲備。（就目前所知，扎哈瑞爾并未接受過使用這些力量的明確訓(xùn)練，他們潛在的極端力量并沒有被釋放。它們所有幾次已知的使用都是本能的和精神不集中的。）

Zahariel next came to the attention of a figure even greater than that of a powerful Space Marine Librarian when he was able to disrupt an assassination attempt upon the Emperor intended to be carried out by rogue knights of the Inner Circle. In the aftermath of these events, Zahariel was personally examined by the Emperor himself, but had his memory of their meeting, and the treason within the Order, suppressed. He was ultimately successful in becoming a Dark Angel, and again with Nemiel beside him, took his place in their ranks early on in the Great Crusade.

當(dāng)扎哈瑞爾阻止了內(nèi)環(huán)浪人騎士們針對帝皇的暗殺嘗試時，他引起了比一位強大的星際戰(zhàn)士智庫更為重要的人物的注意。這之后，帝皇親自測驗了扎哈瑞爾，不過帝皇壓制了扎哈瑞爾對于這次會面的記憶，也打壓了騎士團中的違抗帝國的行為。扎哈瑞爾最終成功地成為了一名黑暗天使星際戰(zhàn)士，而且奈米爾再次陪伴著他(成為了星際戰(zhàn)士)。在大遠征早期他就在部隊中獲得了自己的地位。

Crusade大遠征

Assigned to the 22nd Chapter of the Dark Angels, Zahariel proved instrumental?in the defeat of a warp-entity on the world of Sarosh. The entity, threatening to overwhelm the Dark Angel force (including Lion El'Jonson) was defeated by psychic assault, a group of the Legion's psykers led by Israfael winning the day. Zahariel actually played a role in saving the Lion's life, preventing a Saroshi attempt to detonate a powerful bomb on board the Dark Angel flagship. With the aid of Luther, Zahariel was able to eject the bomb from the ship before it exploded. During this incident, it became clear to Zahariel that Luther was an individual under significant psychological pressure. Despite his notable roles in the victory, immediately after the campaign was over Zahariel (along with Luther, Israfel and many others, but not Nemiel) was reassigned to training and garrison duties back on Caliban.

扎哈瑞爾被分配到了黑暗天使第22戰(zhàn)團，他在Sarosh世界對抗亞空間實體的戰(zhàn)斗中證明了自己的促進作用。這個威脅要征服整個黑暗天使軍團（包括萊昂）的亞空間實體被靈能攻擊打敗了，由伊斯拉菲爾領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的軍團靈能者們戰(zhàn)勝了他。扎哈瑞爾事實上也參與了對于萊昂性命的拯救，阻止了Sarosh人在黑暗天使的旗艦上引爆強力炸彈的嘗試（機仆：沒記錯的話應(yīng)該是扎哈瑞爾預(yù)知到了有人要搞事）。在盧瑟的幫助下，扎哈瑞爾在爆炸前將炸彈丟出了飛船。在這次事件中，扎哈瑞爾清楚地意識到盧瑟承受著巨大的心理壓力。萊昂無視了扎哈瑞爾在這次勝利中的顯著角色，在這次戰(zhàn)役結(jié)束之后不久，扎哈瑞爾（以及盧瑟，伊斯拉菲爾，還有其他很多人，但不包含奈米爾）被重新分配回到卡利班執(zhí)行訓(xùn)練和守備任務(wù)。

Fall墮天使

Now garrisoned on Caliban under Luther, Zahariel began to feel a tint of betrayal at the hands of his Primarch. 50 years went by, and at the onset of the Horus Heresy rebellion broke out across Caliban against the authority of Terra, spurred on by Terran-born bureaucrats who were in fact Chaos Cultists. Luther became convinced that Caliban would face destruction due to its Warp taint, and declared the planet independent from the Imperium. Zahariel vehemently disagreed with this course of action initially, but the more he learned of Caliban's dark past and its connection to the Warp, the more he agreed with Luther. Finally after defeating the cabal of Chaos Sorcerers and their walking dead with his own psychic abilities, Zahariel knew there would be no turning back for Caliban due to the Edict of Nikea and decided to join Luther in secession. Zahariel went on to become one of the first Fallen Angels.

回到卡利班之后，扎哈瑞爾在盧瑟手下負責(zé)駐防任務(wù)，他有種遭到原體背叛的感覺。50年過去之后，當(dāng)大叛亂開始之后，卡利班上也爆發(fā)了對抗泰拉政權(quán)的暴亂，而鼓動暴亂的泰拉裔官僚們實際上是混沌信徒。盧瑟確信卡利班將會因為混沌污染而面臨毀滅，它宣布卡利班從帝國獨立。扎哈瑞爾起初強烈反對這種做法，但他越是了解了卡利班都黑暗過往以及于亞空間的聯(lián)系之后，便越是贊同盧瑟。最終，在用靈能技藝戰(zhàn)勝了混沌巫師秘會的陰謀和他們的活死人之后，扎哈瑞爾明白由于尼凱亞禁令，卡利班已經(jīng)沒有了回頭路，他決定加入盧瑟的脫離帝國行動。扎哈瑞爾開始成為最早的墮天使之一。

Later on Caliban, Zahariel was running through a collapsing tunnel before becoming buried beneath stones, left for dead by the Lord Cypher during an expedition. His mind drifted to the past about an old cave with a wizard before awakening again. Moving through an opening, he came upon the undead who he dispatched with his psychic powers, causing them to withdraw. He quickly looked for the worms that they battled when they fought the Ouroboros and found a psychic void that was growing that he determined was from the Ouroboros itself. With sudden realization that he was inside of the worm and cut off from his psychic power, he blacked out. Later when he finally returned from beneath Caliban, he was a changed man and insisted that the Ouroboros was Caliban itself and not an enemy. This brought him into conflict with the Lord Cypher who wished to maintain his influence over Luther. Later when he learned of the death of Nemiel at the hands of the Lion, Zahariel became embittered and this contributed to him leading a purge against a group of recently arrived loyalists on Caliban led by Belath. Afterwards through the power of the Ouroboros, he saw Cypher as a green man, a tree made man and embued with the essence of the forest. The two sides disputed the nature of the planet and the prison, and Zahariel accused the Watchers of bringing the Ouroboros there before forcing the away or he would unleash the Ouroboros. He then confronted Cypher, surprised at who it was before killing him. Zahariel was elevated by Luther as the new Lord Cypher.

后來在卡利班上，扎哈瑞爾在被埋在石頭下面之前穿過坍塌的隧道，在那次探險中，賽弗領(lǐng)主把他丟下等死。在蘇醒過來之前，他的思緒回到了過去，進入了一個有巫師的古老洞穴。穿過一個出口之后，他遇到了自己用靈能派遣出去的亡靈，這導(dǎo)致他們退出（了這個場景）（機仆：fallen angel這本小說我沒看過，不過結(jié)合上下文，這部分應(yīng)該是扎哈瑞爾瀕死狀態(tài)下看到的亞空間幻象）。當(dāng)他們與Ouroboros（機仆：da的神奇亞空間小寶貝三件套之一，應(yīng)該是操縱死尸說話的那個）搏斗，并且發(fā)現(xiàn)一個靈能虛空正在形成——他斷定這是來自O(shè)uroboros（機仆：這玩意兒翻譯過了就是著名的“銜尾蛇”，含義有夠混沌的…）時，他快速尋找著他們與之交戰(zhàn)的蠕蟲（機仆：在這里我從頭說一下，扎哈瑞爾回老家后遇到了一個案件：卡利班北部荒野的一座內(nèi)政部建筑群失聯(lián)了，去調(diào)查的帝國軍也沒有音信，于是盧瑟讓扎哈瑞爾帶了一小隊da去調(diào)查，然后就發(fā)現(xiàn)建筑的地下部分是一堆巨型蠕蟲，最后還鉆出來一只超大都巨蟲，其實就是Ouroboros開始發(fā)功腐化了當(dāng)?shù)氐娜撕蜕?，扎哈用靈能干掉了蟲子。后來這種問題越來越嚴重，某次扎哈和當(dāng)時的賽弗領(lǐng)主去清洗被腐化的巢都時，賽弗因為恐懼丟下他跑路了，之后扎哈被Ouroboros降伏了，決心效忠于它。所以說lex是不怎么靠譜的…）。他突然意識到自己就在蠕蟲內(nèi)部，并且切斷了自己的靈能力量，之后他暈了過去。后來，當(dāng)他終于從卡利班的地下返回之后，他已經(jīng)被轉(zhuǎn)變了， 堅信Ouroboros就是卡利班的本體，而非敵人。這就讓他和賽弗產(chǎn)生了矛盾，后者想要保持自己對于盧瑟的影響力。后來當(dāng)他聽說奈米爾死于萊昂之手后，他對原體心懷怨恨，這促使他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了對于一群由貝拉斯帶領(lǐng)的最近回到卡利班的忠誠派暗黑天使的清洗。之后通過Ouroboros的力量，他把賽弗看做了綠色的人——由樹木構(gòu)成的人而且沉浸在森林的精華中。雙方質(zhì)疑著卡利班的自然本質(zhì)和監(jiān)獄（機仆：意思應(yīng)該是賽弗和扎哈都在懷疑卡利班本質(zhì)上是囚禁混沌力量的牢籠，其實想想也不稀奇，畢竟在卡利班就在恐懼之眼邊上，而卡利班節(jié)區(qū)部分地方基本就在恐懼之眼里面）。在強行擊退暗黑守望者之前（機仆:此時賽弗在和扎哈辯論，發(fā)現(xiàn)苗頭不對之后賽弗把袍子小弟給召喚來鎮(zhèn)場子，結(jié)果扎哈借助Ouroboros力量把袍子小人趕走了，這也從側(cè)面說明Ouroboros靈能力量強于詭變幼主）扎哈瑞爾指責(zé)暗黑守望者們把Ouroboros帶到了那里，否則他就能釋放Ouroboros。之后他面對了賽弗領(lǐng)主，在殺掉賽弗之前，扎哈瑞爾被賽弗的真實身份所震驚（機仆：所以賽弗你到底是誰…）。之后，扎哈瑞爾被盧瑟推選成為新任賽弗領(lǐng)主。
